Arabian Nights (1974) was filmed in Rome, Sanaa and Ta'izz, 3 places named in its Wikipedia article, in Italy, Yemen. Wikidata itself records the shoot only as Ethiopia. A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a statement, and every claim on this page says which it is.

Places per Wikipedia's article

The article names 3 places. A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, so these are listed apart, never mixed into the statement list, and the claim links straight to where it came from.

Recorded only at country level

Wikidata also records this film as shot in Ethiopia, without saying where. Those statements are true but unmappable — a pin in the middle of a country would claim something nobody wrote — so they are listed here instead of guessed at.
